This WordPress site has severe performance issues with a score of 56/100. The biggest problem is multiple page redirects that are adding an enormous 8.1 seconds of delay before the page even starts loading, causing your First Contentful Paint to take 9.2 seconds and Largest Contentful Paint to reach 13.5 seconds. Fixing these redirects would provide the single largest improvement, followed by addressing render-blocking CSS files that are adding another 2.6 seconds of delay. The site is also loading 106 KB of unused JavaScript and has inefficient caching, but eliminating those redirects should be your top priority as it would dramatically improve Core Web Vitals scores.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS files are blocking page rendering for 2.6 seconds, significantly delaying First Contentful Paint.
How to Fix:
Use a WordPress optimization plugin like WP Rocket or Autoptimize to inline critical CSS. Move non-essential stylesheets like automatic.css to load after initial render using media='print' onload technique. Minify the automatic.css file which can save 3KB and reduce blocking time.
Why It Matters:
106KB of unused JavaScript is blocking page load and delaying LCP by over 1 second.
How to Fix:
Audit the Bricks theme JavaScript (80% unused) and html2canvas library usage. Use conditional loading to only load html2canvas when needed. Configure your WordPress caching plugin to defer non-critical scripts, and consider using code splitting for the Bricks theme assets.
